S1E1: Stars and Garters, Pilgrims and Shrines

Welcome to The Cluttered Desk Podcast! In this episode of The Cluttered Desk Podcast, Colin and Andrew discuss the acclaimed Chris Claremont X-Men comic book run, The Dark Phoenix Saga. What do they think of Jean Grey’s sacrifice? What are the philosophical implications of the Phoenix Force? Next, our hosts consider whether or not Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet is the ideal means of introducing new readers to William Shakespeare. Finally, in the coda, Colin and Andrew discuss what they are drinking.
